Answer:

AC Problems : Incurred even at 0 output level, much varying & deviant from cash flows

VC Problems : Doesn't include fixed cost, incomplete expenditure, incomplete financial (accounting) statements.

Explanation:

Average Cost is the cost per unit off output.

Problems with AC as a performance measure :

  • It includes all (fixed & variable cost) average. So, including fixed cost, it is not zero even at zero output level.
  • It's variance analysis during production & cost phases is very complicated.
  • It's result are deviant as evident from cash flows.

Variable Cost is the cost incurred on variable factors of production.

Problems with VC as a performance measure :

  • It doesn't include fixed cost. So, it is not a correct measure of complete total expenditure.
  • Fixed costs are huge. No financial inclusion of them makes accounting information unreliable (for legal purposes)
